No running game

[diamonddelts]

Dallas is beating the teams they are supposed to beat. Which is better than nothing. They struggled with this simple concept for almost a decade under Jason Garrett.

 

[Arkyvarminter]

Yeah, we actually are on a roll. What I don’t understand is since you have a crystal ball, why do you watch the games? I mean, if I knew as much as you, I would do something productive during the game, like sleep.

Because i do have a crystal ball and win money that way!

Share the knowledge. Bro!

 

[KJJ]

Lol. So does the ENTIRE league dude.

I don’t think anyone has feasted on bad teams like the Cowboys. The best teams they’ve beaten are the Jets and Chargers and they’re both 4-5.

Prior to today's games:
Cowboys: 262a 1061y 4.0 y/a
Chiefs: 226a 934y 4.1y/a
Eagles: 290a 1167y 4.0y/a

Someone needs to break it to Chiefs and Eagles fans that they have no shot this year.

And the egirls with the supposedly best OL in the league.

Running back isn't the problem with the running game.

I agree with you Jake, it's the OL. When they get the blocking, the run game improves.

I could care less about beating a one win team..lol Wait till we play the Niners again and see what happens..

Hmmm...are you sure it was your turn to crap on the team? It's a very long waiting list and we don't want people going out of turn. It just causes chaos. Hopefully you checked with an admin first.

If anyone is getting impatient, they can have my turn at crapping on this team. I'm sure we can work out a fair and equitable deal. I wont be hard to deal with. You can have my pick for a "Go Cowboys!" or a "Victory Monday!" or even just a "Job done! On to Washington."

Something like that.

Right, we’re on a roll against teams that aren’t going to make the playoffs, but good luck, convincing some here that the Cowboys can be beaten. We’re feasting on bad teams.

True but there are a lot of really bad teams this year and they can only play who's next on the schedule. 'Skins are horrible.

 

[plasticman]

I realize this is a rather extreme thought......

What if the offensive line begins to improve as a result of practicing and playing together? What would happen if they actually become more cohesive and operate more efficiently? What if this O-line begins to function as a machine like unit through repetition and familiarity?

What if they peak just as the regular season ends and they reach the playoffs?

The Cowboys had enough of a running game today for them to win. Pollard's best day, his only 100 yard game this season, resulted in a loss.

Which scenario would you choose?

 

[noshame]

Mike McCarthy says hi. I never believed in running the football you fools.

 

[DuncanIso]

Everyone thinks we are on a roll and we're not. Beating bad teams by throwing all day long. Wait till we play a real team and everyone will see our running game sucks and we'll lose..the end

I see what you mean.

I think the easy games are over now.

It was almost like preseason.

I do not agree

Should have beat Philadelphia on the road, let's see how December goes

 

[FalseStart75Pozderac]

We had like 3 big negative run plays that made the run game numbers look a bit weaker. The trick play with pollard lost a ton of yards. But overal we ran the ball pretty well today

I was about to say the same thing. I saw some huge negative run plays that cost Pollard 20 yards. Take those 3 plays away and he is more like 9 carries for 75-80 yards, correct?

 

[Ranching]

Because i can and u cant' do anything about it...lol

Unfortunately....

 

[Romo_To_Dez]

The OL and OL coach are the ones who need to figure out how to run block better.

Washington isn’t horrible. They’ve been competitive in most of their games. If they get good QB play they’re hard to beat.

 

[glimmerman]

This game was different. It seemed like Dak threw the ball more than what he actually did. Dowdle needs to be running up the middle early. 38 passing attempts and between Pollard and Dowdle only 20 rushing attempts.

 

[Hardline]

Why the he'll are you here, then? You like to hang with losers? Not surprised.

What did he say that was wrong?

 

[cowboybish]

A featured runner is what we need. End of story.

Thats what burns my back side is that JJ didn't even sniff the bushes for another back particularly Derrick Henry. Didn't even sniff the bushes! This will come back to bite us at some point. DH would have a difference maker.
